If the general public was aware of the consequences of our fossil fuel addiction, then we would collectively demand alternative energy solutions(at least here in the USA).
Creating doubt, buying off politicians is keeping their profits up at the expense of the planet.

If climate change was not true why would big corporations need to spend millions to deny it.
Pretty simple to see.
Entire solar system is heating up! Scientists blame solar warming
If climate change was not true why would big corporations need to spend millions to deny it.
n news that should shock and anger Americans, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that not only has she discussed internally the possibility of pursuing civil actions against so-called “climate change deniers,” but she has “referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action.” Lynch was responding to a question from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who urged Lynch to prosecute those who “pretend that the science of carbon emissions’ dangers is unsettled,” particularly those in the “fossil fuel industry” who supposedly have constructed a “climate denial apparatus.”
Lynch is apparently following in the footsteps of California Attorney General Kamala Harris and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, both of whom have opened up investigations of ExxonMobil for allegedly lying to the public and their shareholders about climate change.None of the public officials involved in this abuse of the prosecutorial power of the government recognizes the outrageousness of what they are doing
or are urging the FBI and the Justice Department to do. They want to investigate and prosecute corporations and individuals for their opinions on an unproven scientific theory, for which there is not a consensus, despite inaccurate claims to the contrary.

I bet they spend more on climate change than they do cleaning up their own pollution.
Out of sight, out of mind.

both sides are spending millions to push their agenda...
Its not just one side or the other... most likely the truth is somewhere between the two sides.

From Desmog:
Conservati ve funders of climate denial are quietly spending millions to generate partisan journalism.
This explains why despite the overwhelming consensus of the experts who agree that we are causing climate change, that there is so much denial in the US, especially in forums like this. Some of the most active deniers on here and other forums may be getting paid to cast doubt on what the science is telling us.
